RECOMMENDATIONS
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attached Resolution authorizing an increase in contract in the
amount of not to exceed $50.000 in the contract between the City
of Miami, Florida and the Poole and Kent Company for the Lawrence
Pump Station Modification -Phase II, CIP Project #352184, said
funds to be provided from the 1991 Capital Improvement Ordinance
No. 10782 with funds already appropriated to the project; further
ratifying the City Manager's written finding that the herein
increase resulted from emergency circumstances by an. affirmative
vote of four fifths of the members of the City Commission and
adopting the finding and conclusions set forth in the preamble of
this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Works has determined that it is now in
order for the Commission to authorize an increase in contract
amount for the Lawrence Pump Station Modification -Phase II - CIP
Project No. 352184.
After excavation for the new pit an existing 78-inch reinforced
concrete pipe storm sewer was found to be misaligned and lower
than shown on record drawings used for the pump pit design. This
defect was not shown on the 1953 as -built plans. This defect in
the pipe has resulted in a reauirement to increase the size of
the new bar screen structure and additional support is required
to secure the 78-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe during
construction, and the removal of a concrete collar approximately
10 foot square by 4 foot thick.
It has been decided that the most cost effective and expeditious
manner in which to address this problem is with the existing
contractor who is presently on the project.
As required by City Ordinance, an increase of $10,000 or more in
a City contract must be accompanied by a finding by the City
Manager that the increase resulted from emergency circumstances,
and such finding has been prepared and signed.

Emergency Need For
Increase in Contract
Based on information supplied to me by the Director of the
Department of Public Works, I have found that there exists an
emergency need for an increase in contract amount not to exceed
$50,000 in the contract between the City of Miami, Florida and
the Poole and Kent Company for the Lawrence Pump Station
Modification -Phase II.
The reason for the emergency need is as follows:
There presently exists an excavation approximately 20 foot square
by 20 foot deep at the southeast corner of the City of Miami
Riverside Park. This excavation has approximately 10 foot of
water in the bottom. The excavation is enclosed by a
construction fence. However, it is an attractive nuisance and
endangers the health safety and welfare of the children playing
in and about the park.
Because of the exposed section of 78-inch reinforced concrete
pipe presently suspended due to the open excavation and shifts in
the groundwater, there is the potential for storm drainage
problems in the Riverside and East Little Havana Road System.
